Pool of Siloam: Now What Did They Find?

In the latest episode of Biblical Archaeology from the Ground Down, we dive deep into one of Jerusalem's most captivating ancient sites: the Pool of Siloam. Join us as we uncover the latest archaeological discoveries from ongoing excavations at this iconic location, revealing what treasures have been unearthed and their profound biblical connections. We explore the fascinating history behind the two pools associated with Siloam—the ancient Lower Pool (Birket el-Hamra), a massive stepped reservoir dating back to the First Temple period and rebuilt in the Second Temple era, and the nearby Upper Pool of Silwan, a colonnaded ritual bath from the Roman period. Discover the reasons for these dual pools. How many water channels were there and What other surprises did these channels have to reveal. From Jesus' healing of the blind man in John 9:1–11 to its role in the Feast of Tabernacles water-pouring ceremony (echoing Isaiah 12:3), this episode brings the Bible's ancient world to life. Whether you're a history buff, faith seeker, or archaeology enthusiast, tune in to see how these findings affirm Scripture and reshape our understanding of Jerusalem's sacred past.
